Apply that rationalist view on politics to any other significant historical progress against exploitation and you will understand how “abide to the rules of protest” is not as rational as you think.
Some examples
8hours working day
Voting rights
Voting rights for women
End of racial laws
Your right to organize, demonstrate at all
Rulebreaking of social movements fighting against the immense irrationalities of oppression (like “lets burn the planet cause the mystical market monster demands it”) is what gave you your rights…
8 hour day protestors got into firefights with the police on dozens of occasions. They killed police, foremen, Pinkerton stooges, and more. The civil rights law was won on the back of hundreds of riots all across the US. The history they teach in schools is explicitly designed to hide the true history of class struggle.
